The collapse of support for Trump in the Rio Grande Valley is a big story of the moment. It's more deserving of our attention than what some centrist tweeted somewhere, believe it or not.

How did this happen? I think probably the staff used some for of AI to make connections and the AI just assumed "Hawks="Hawkeyes"? Because if humans did this they're amazingly lazy and dumb, and that can't be the case, can it....?

Since my pundit superpower as a Gen Xer is "remembering shit that happened," I'll point out that, when presidential candidate John Kerry referred to the Green Bay Packers' stadium as "Lambert Field" instead of "Lambeau Field," the same people excusing Schmitt viewed that as disqualifying.

Schmitt's staff may have set their boss up for a big day around his big moment. But, to echo another famous conspiracy theorist, the intel on this wasn't 100%.

Of course @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social has the most interesting review of the MAHA Summit. She asks who organized the event, who attended, and where the money goes. Kennedy likes to keep his grift in the family. Zadrozny notes: "Finn was the summit’s first speaker." www.ms.now/news/maha-su...

If the divergent, often competing pet interests of the activists within MAHA made the movement hard to define, the structure behind the business of MAHA is murkier still. The summit was presented by MAHA Center, a nonprofit helmed by Tony Lyons, publisher of Kennedy’s books and other contrarian works. Lyons also runs MAHA Action, a separate nonprofit, and MAHA PAC, the rebranded super PAC that bankrolled Kennedy’s presidential bid and is now backing Republican candidates in the midterms. Tickets to the summit went to “MAHA members” who enrolled at the $6,000-a-year tier — a membership advertised and presented by Lyons’ MAHA Action but whose agreement is with MAHA Holdings, a separate entity with no public-facing website, about which little is known beyond its CEO, former tech entrepreneur Alex Hardy, and one board member: Kennedy’s 29-year-old son, Finn.

Lots of great articles in this one, including papers on Buchanan and transportation economics; Alexander Hamilton and Tenche Coxe on tariffs; and Walter Lippmann. The latter two I’ve had the privilege of reading drafts of and seeing presented.

Talarico has an immigration plan that in its broad strokes is very humane and pro-immigrant. He says our border should be like a "front porch" with a "lock" and a "welcome mat." Both of those are important. The "welcome mat" in his plan deserves more attention. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2160...

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault

Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

Amazing photo but the headline here is, imo, needlessly indirect, and it surprises me that Senator Schmitt, the person responsible for the embarrassing ”Hawks-Hawkeyes mix-up,” isn’t mentioned by name in the headline.

Why Caitlin Clark was at the center of a Hawks-Hawkeyes mix-up during Senate argument.

I don't think Katie Britt went slackjawed because she was mortified by Eric Schmitt's sloppiness. I think she (like all Republicans) knew the hearing was meant to generate propaganda and lawfare and she was crestfallen to see it come apart. Reporters should ask her if she knew the ambush was coming.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

This is crap for two reasons. 1: polls show, clear majorities of all parties support expanding childcare access 2: if parents are wary of childcare, it's because Reps spent four decades vilifying employed moms, stoking false fears of daycare, and underfunding programs in ways that limit care quality

Given how rightly tough it is to prove defamation of public figures, Hannity might not quite be there bc he simply says that Smith was put “on the spot.” But other right wing pundits who are falsely claiming that Smith was caught in a lie seem smack dab in actual malice land.
